I say that as a Christian and as an individual. I can understand how some choose to apply the concepts without the religion, but I personally think this would have infuriated SK. Again, not including the Bible, "The Sickness Unto Death" is perhaps the only literary work I have ever read that altered my life, either ...             Works of Love : Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol 1613 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Princeton University Press, 1998 One of his best works _Works of Love_ by Kierkegaard is the most uplifting, encouraging, and hope-restoring book I have ever read. Kierkegaard's statement that "the greatest act of love anyone can ever achieve is to mourn for someone who is dead" is a statement I have used to guide myself through innumerable existential crises and has given me hope in my darkest hours. The wisdom contained in this book is an ...             Kierkegaard For Beginners17 reviews For Beginners, 2007 Amazingly Accurate and Fun Portrayal for the Beginner Author/illustrator Palmer brings out Kierkegaard's brilliance in a way accessible to all, simply conveying the complexity of Kierkegaard the person and Kierkegaard the writings while providing a continuous laugh fitting for SK's own serio-comic ironic style. Kierkegaard's the epitome of epigrammatic writing and living, a zealous genius misrepresented by both secularist existentialists as well as ...             Concluding Unscientific Postscript 2 : Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol 12.26 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Princeton University Press, 1992 A comic tour de force To begin with, the title is a joke. This is the in keeping with the putative author of the piece. Johannes Climacus (who is named for the Seventh Century Hermit and Monk, St. John Climacus) is a humorist. A humorist, as he will point out, is someone on edge of becoming religious, but is not yet religious and, in fact, may never become religious. That being said, back to the title. ...             Either/Or 1: Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol. 36 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Princeton University Press, 1988 The first book in Kierkegaard's remarkable Authorship Although Kierkegaard had written other books before this one, mainly some literary critical works as well as his dissertation THE CONCEPT OF IRONY, this is the book that begins what he calls his "Authorship." The works constituting his Authorship have two main things in common: 1) they are all written by Pseudonymous Authors that represent points of view that do not precisely correspond with ...             The Essential Kierkegaard5 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Princeton University Press, 2000 The Master of Irony Søren Kierkegaard is undoubtedly the comedian's philosopher. And his humor is fundamentally reassuring - hilarious, even biting, but never bitter or nihilistic. He is one of the major influences on the films and writings of Woody Allen. Often Kierkegaard is rumored to be bleak, hopeless and terrifying. There are elements of despair, yes, but I've always found him good for a laugh even at his ...             Fear and Trembling/Repetition : Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol. 67 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Princeton University Press, 1983 Theological Tour de Force This edition of 'Fear and Trembling' is an excellently produced and translated edition, with the interesting and helpful prefaces and selections of journal quotes typical of the Writings series. 'Fear and Trembling' presents a very penetrating, and ultimately disturbing, investigation into the personal and 'existential' implications of the religious concept of faith, as illustrated by the ...             A Kierkegaard Anthology5 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Princeton University Press, 1973 The Best Place To Start Reading Kierkegaard Many consider it objectionable (probably Kierkegaard among them!) to chop up philosophical works so literary in style into pieces to be patched together in an anthology. Others would note that a philosopher is best introduced through a painstaking reading of a classic and definitive text, and thus Plato is to be met in "The Republic," Nietzsche in "Thus Spoke Zarathustra," and the later ...             Either/Or: A Fragment of Life (Penguin Classics)9 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Penguin Classics, 1992 In the beginning there was either/or This is Kierkegaard's first work, and contains already major themes which will be part of his oeuvre throughout. The choice between the aesthetic life represented in the first part and the moral life defended in the second is one such theme. So is the masking of his own identity, the division of himself into a multiplicity of names and identities behind which the true identity is a question. The ...             Fear and Trembling30 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Wilder Publications, 2008 Fear and Trembling Faith, it goes without saying, is a personal thing. It is a private aspect of a person's life that may, if they wish, become public, though there is no real need for this to occur. Faith is something that cannot be explained - certainly not to the satisfaction of an atheist - rather, it is something that is believed. Faith, in short, is faith. The particularities of faith are among the causes ...             Kierkegaard: Fear and Trembling (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy)1 review Cambridge University Press, 2006 A Stellar Edition With its muted, textual appearance and the word "Cambridge" hovering on top of the front cover, this edition of Fear and Trembling may scare off prospective readers, who are forgiven if they think, at first glance, this edition is aimed at dedicated specialists. It's not. Within these covers is a page-turning, logically-presented and faithfully-executed rendition of Kierkegaard's magnum opus: ...             Kierkegaard: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)4 reviews Patrick Gardiner Oxford University Press, USA, 2002 The example of the authentic individual Gardiner chooses to focus on Kierkegaard's difficulties and dilemnas in his own time. He tells the story of S.K.'s great renunciation of his Regina( The famous follow- up is his years later remark, " Had I had faith I would have married Regina") and speculates briefly on the motives. But there is tremendously more to be said about this including a question about Kierkegaard's real meaning for ...             The Concept of Anxiety : Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol 87 reviews Soren Kierkegaard, Albert B. Anderson Princeton University Press, 1981 Essential Kierkegaard _The Concept of Anxiety_ is one of Kierkegaard's most straightforward, honest, and personal works. Primarily, it deals with the typical human understanding of sin, why we designate certain acts as sinful, and how our perception or experience of these acts is altered by the fact that they are labled as "sinful". This book approaches the question of sin in a very enlightening and insightful ...             The Cambridge Companion to Kierkegaard (Cambridge Companions to Philosophy)1 review Cambridge University Press, 1997 Essays Miss the essence of Soren K. The essays can be helpful in understanding some of K's works, but the pervasive ignoring of the spiritual/religious aspects of K's works individually and taken all together makes the book incomplete and totally unsatisfactory. The secularists who write and edit this kind of collection of essays just can't get beyond their own prejudices. Most essays are difficult to read because of poor writing ...             Philosophical Fragments/Johannes Climacus : Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol 73 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Princeton University Press, 1985 One of Kierkegaard's most essential works If one were to read only two or three of Kierkegaard's works, this is unquestionably one of the ones to read. In this work and in its successor, Kierkegaard, employing the pseudonym of Johannes Climacus, seeks to explain the nature of Christianity in such as way as to bring out its demands on the individual, and to emphasize its incompatibility with the theology based on the work of Hegel that ...             How to Read Kierkegaard (How to Read) John D. Caputo W. W. Norton, 2008 Using excerpts from the major texts to explain essential topics, the How to Read series provides a context and an explanation that will facilitate and enrich your understanding of texts vital to the canon.             Provocations: Spiritual Writings of Kierkegaard9 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Orbis Books, 2003 "By acting your life will come into collision with existence... ...and then you will know the reality of grace." p 254 Kierkegaard is too good to miss. Unfortunately his writings were so copious and obscured under the cloak of pseudonyms that many people give up before they begin to mine the riches of his work. Moore has finally provided an accessible distillation of his work in this topical compilation. There are 98 topics (e.g. doubt, love, ...             For Self-Examination/Judge for Yourselves : Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol 212 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Princeton University Press, 1991 Masterpiece of true Christianity Kierkegaard exposes what it means to be a Christian. And be warned. It is impossible to read the book and walk away. A spiritual mirror is setup for those who dare to look. Individual's life including Scripture study is the core of this book.             Practice in Christianity : Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol 204 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Princeton University Press, 1991 Below the surface of modern theology To describe Kierkegaard is, to say the very least, difficult! Not that his style of writing is boring or even overly difficult. Not at all! His style is poetic, warm, and loving. Yet all the while, he makes you feel uncomfortable, leads you to questioning your faith, and often makes one angry! However, the thing that I admire most about the author and the book "Practice in Christianity", ...             Parables of Kierkegaard (Kierkegaard's Writings)9 reviews Soren Kierkegaard Princeton University Press, 1989 An anthology of extraordinary passages Kierkegaard's thought was a thought of paradox and complication, irony , insight and humor. Like Kafka he could take a well- known myth and remake it as his own .And always he will do this in such a way as to move the reader into a new level of question and involvement in his thought. Kierkegaard challenges questions and delights us. He too may contradict us and our sense of things but most ...              search for books anthology, awakening, beginners, cambridge, christian, christianity, companion, companions, concluding, essential, examination, exposition, fragment, fragments, introduction, introductions, kierkegaard, parables, philosophical, philosophy, postscript, provocations, psychological, repetition, self-examination, spiritual, trembling, unscientific, upbuilding, yourselves books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
